Silver City

 

USA 2004, 112 minutes
Dir. John Sayles
Rating: [M]
Genres: Comedy, Drama

Topics: Politics.

 

Aroview: Oddly tangled satire of Bush-era American politics in which a George Dubya soundalike (Cooper) goes on the campaign trail in Colorado, while mysteries and corporate intrigues swirl in the background.

Actually centred more around the quest by a amiably bumbling detective (Huston) to discover why a body turned up at one of the candidate's rallies, this presents its vision of America as a fatally corrupt democracy with cheerful irony. Perhaps dir. Sayles most openly partisan film, this is still woven with intelligence and skill.
